Relationship Therapy

You don’t need to be falling apart to start rebuilding

​

Maybe you’re fighting more. Or talking less. Maybe something happened — betrayal, emotional distance, or even silence that’s stretched too long — and you can’t un-feel it.

​

Couples therapy isn’t just for crises. It’s for people who want to understand their dynamic, break toxic patterns, and build something stronger than before — even if that feels far away right now.

Who I Work With

I work with couples and partners navigating:

​

  • Communication breakdowns and unresolved conflict

  • Emotional disconnection, avoidance, or resentment

  • Infidelity, rupture, and rebuilding trust

  • Life transitions: parenting, career shifts, cross-cultural pressure

  • Clashing values, unmet needs, or “we’ve just grown apart”

  • Patterns inherited from family, culture, or trauma that keep repeating

 

Whether you’ve been together 5 months or 15 years — if you’re stuck, I can help.

What Relationship Therapy Looks Like

This isn’t passive listening. This is real work — done together.


You’ll be guided, challenged, and supported as we:

​

  • Deconstruct harmful communication patterns

  • Rebuild trust and emotional safety

  • Clarify unmet needs and deepen understanding

  • Develop tools that actually work outside the session

 

You won’t be blamed. You won’t be “fixed.”
We focus on how you relate — not just what you argue about.

​

I use the Gottman Method (Level 1) along with emotion-focused and relational frameworks — all filtered through a trauma-informed, culturally aware lens.

​

That means:

  • No rigid roles or assumptions

  • Space to acknowledge cultural and intergenerational dynamics

  • Direct, honest conversations that move things forward

 

I don’t take sides. I take the relationship seriously — and that means I’ll challenge both of you, with care.

Not Sure Where to Start?

That’s okay. You don’t need the right words — just a willingness to begin.
